1.) Create new template called "todayinhistory"

2.) Insert the following code in the new "todayinhistory" template:

<div class="section">
    <div class="secondaryContent">
<h3>Today in History</h3>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://rss.brainyhistory.com/link/historyevents.js"></script><small><i>more <a href="http://www.brainyhistory.com/" target="_blank">History</a></i></small>

    </div>
</div>

3.) Find:

{xen:raw $sidebar}

4.) Right after put:

<xen:include template="todayinhistory" />

With this you get:
